Last Month’s Activities:
The children had so much fun making cars, trucks and buses out of large carboard boxes.
The children made car washes and enjoyed playing with large car wheels.
The children have talked a lot about the fun day when parents came into the setting to help them paint the Mona Lisa.
The parent interaction story times have been a great success and the children and parents have become involved.
